\u201cIf any of these Republicans is elected, we\u2019re all f*cked. \u201d <\/p>\n
Robert Reich<\/a> <\/p>\n Last night with two friends over dinner: <\/p>\n Fred: I trust Bernie. He hasn\u2019t waivered on these issues in forty years. Hillary is all over the place. And she\u2019s taking money from billionaires and big banks. <\/p>\n Linda: But Bernie can\u2019t be elected president. Americans will never elect a 74-year-old Jewish socialist. Hillary can be elected. And we can\u2019t risk this election. If any of these Republicans is elected we\u2019re all f*cked. <\/p>\n Fred: Bernie can be elected. Polls don\u2019t measure enthusiasm.<\/strong> And it\u2019s enthusiasm that gets people to the voting booths — and is turning Bernie\u2019s candidacy into a national movement to take back our economy and reclaim our democracy. <\/p>\n Linda: Movement shmovement. \u201cOccupy\u201d was supposed to be a movement, too. Your movements are bullshit. Politics is about discipline and organization. That\u2019s Hillary. <\/p>\n Fred: People don\u2019t trust Hillary. They don\u2019t like her. They won\u2019t vote for her. <\/p>\n Linda: They will if her opponent is Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, or any of the other right-wing fanatics Republicans nominate. <\/p>\n Fred: What good will it do to elect a president whose principles shift like a weathervane? <\/p>\n Linda: What good will it do to have a nominee who can\u2019t get elected? <\/p>\n What\u2019s your view? Who won this argument?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Robert Reich<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cIf any of these Republicans is elected, we\u2019re all f*cked. \u201d Robert Reich Last night with two friends over dinner: Fred: I trust Bernie.
